Why didn’t I just buy a lattice tower? It’s a question I get all the time. In this video, I explain exactly why I built my own 60ft tilt-over mast using scaffold poles instead of going down the traditional tower route.
Having used lattice towers before, I know how good they can be. But there’s a side to them people don’t always talk about – transport, foundations, maintenance, cost, and what happens when things go wrong. This build solves a lot of those problems in a surprisingly simple way.
This mast is fully single-handed. I can raise and lower it in minutes, it’s built from readily available materials, and if something breaks, I fix it the same day. No waiting for parts, no specialist sections, no heavy machinery required beyond the initial setup.
I also walk through the basic geometry behind the system – a falling derrick design. Once you understand that, the whole thing becomes much less mysterious than it looks at first glance.
Cost-wise, the entire system comes in at under £1,000 (excluding the rotator), spread over time. Everything can be transported and handled by one person, and the installation is completely reversible – important when you’re working in a field that may one day return to its original use.
The final sequence shows the mast being raised – something I never get tired of watching. There’s something quite special about seeing it go up smoothly and quietly at the press of a button.
If you’ve ever considered putting up a tower, or thought it was out of reach, this might give you another option.

In this interview, I sit down with Peter Parker to talk about making radio simple, practical, and accessible for anyone.
Peter is well known in the amateur radio community for his clear, no-nonsense approach to building and operating simple radios. We discuss how beginners can get started, why you don’t need expensive equipment, and the value of hands-on experimentation.
Join us as we explore how you can get involved in portable radio, QRP, and more in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone (AP/DZ). Every aspect of portable operations is covered in this biweekly podcast, from news and gear to achievements, the workbench, contests, awards, and beyond.

APRS over LoRa (LoRa APRS) delivers longer range, better reliability, and lower power compared to traditional 2m 1200 baud APRS. In this video, I explain how LoRa APRS works, compare it to standard APRS, and show real-world range test results.
